question on iCloud and photos

I have more 7 000 photos on my iPhone.  Can I delete photos from my iPhone, but keep them in Photos on my MacBook Pro if iCloud is turned on?  I want to save these pictures I just do not want it taking up space on my iPhone.

iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

I'm in a similar situation. I have over 10 k photos in my library, and I use the storage optimized in iCloud library option to allow me to have access to view my complete library without having to ingest my storage. This isn't an archival, though, so, if you remove photos or videos that are managed by it on your Mac or your iPhone, they will be deleted on your devices even your Contacts would be.

Alternatively, you can import the old fashioned way and delete what you no longer want to keep on your iPhone after the fact.

  • Question on icloud and drive

    Hello guys, this is my first device from apple so that I don't know much on icloud and drive

    I have the icloud service free with 5 GB with backup works with snapchat and hiking hiking whatsapp, photo library is turned on too which is 2.0 GB

    However I never backed up manually or automatically as my last column 'save' shows EVER, after that the next column said backupsize 1.6 GB

    in the next backupo size it says 1.1 GB, here are my questions

    1] what's the 1.6 GB backup...? I turned only on the backup, I have no BACKUP PRESS button and it was not automatically saved as the last column shows backup NEVER

    2. 5 GB, I have only 3.4 GB of available, I'm pretty sure its related to my 1st request

    I think the purchase of storage icloud, here are a few questions related to it

    a] how is made the backup? I want to say si.jpg is supported today, after a few days when there will be B.jpg C.jpg and so on... will be sauvegarde.jpg again or will he acknowledges in the same file & follow up with those who are not saved, abbr. duplication of files.

    Assuming that I understand your question and the description of the information that you see, the 1.6 GB is the rear size If you choose to save. I have fI recall, auto return until does not start until you have saved actually only once (but can be confused with - its been a while since I created one from scratch.) In addition, automatic back ups occur only when the unit is plugged in, connected to the internet and the screen is off.

    Regarding how the back-up works, it only backs up each time consecutive change and it does NOT keep a delta (i.e. the back only place available for restoration is the last of them, you did. Once you delete data (say a page file), it is deleted the next time the backup device. You will not have many copies of the same file.

    Storage total available iCloud is influenced not only by the back ups, but all the data synchronized if she (Photos and content of the app).

    More than likely, the 5 GB of free space will be meet your needs, at least in the short term. I would wait until you really need additional storage before buy you.

  • Question about Icloud and pictures related to the Iphone

    I save my photos from my ipnone in icloud. Today, I needed to free up space on my phone so I made sure the photos and videos have been backed up in the cloud, but when I removed them from my phone, they are now gone from the Cloud. Why?

    I thought that kept any cloud, so you can free your phone. What I'm doing wrong that will keep my photos and info on the cloud when I delete from the phone.

    And of course I did not sync my phone in over a month!

    Thank you

    Laurie

    If you have settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud library turned on then all of the photos you delete from your phone will be deleted to iCloud and any other device connected to this library to iCloud.

    iCloud photo library as is currently is above all a method of synchronization between devices. It is NOT a backup, and it is not designed to be a storage cloud solution only.

    You can reduce the space required for the photos on your phone by selecting "Optimize iPhone storage" on the same above-mentioned settings screen.

  • app iCloud and photos of duplication

    First, I copied my photo library on a disk (that has been synchronized with my iCloud account).

    Then, I just did a clean Sierra install for my MacBook.

    After that find my photo library with App Photos.

    And open iCloud photo library.

    Photos app started to redownload all the same pictures to my mac book.

    So I duplicated photos now.

    How can I stop it duplication?

    (I have 13 000 photos close to 50 GB)

    The only one I know is through a third-party application.

    There are a few duplicate programs that are tested as safe with Photos, including PowerPhotos, PhotoSweeper for the pictures and Duplicate Annihilator for Photos - do not use a tested and documented as safe.

  • ICloud and photos app

    Is it possible to download Photos?  I lost it long ago from my Mac Book pro and now I can't see my pictures when I log on my laptop my iCloud

    Thank you

    Photos for Mac is installed as part of Mac OS X.  You can not download separately. If you reinstall your system, it will be reinstalled. Reinstall everything pictures of your purchase history on the Mac AppSTore and pictures will be back.

    I lost it long ago from my Mac Book pro

    Are you really asking on Photos for Mac or iPhoto? Photos for Mac is about a year and because it is installed under the system it is difficult to remove from your you, so it's a little curious, if you lost pictures a long time ago.

  • duplicates of iCloud and photo library

    Aloha! I activated iCloud only found out I have duplicates (X 4) of most of the images. Is there a way to remove duplicates and more go frame by frame? Mahalo!

    Where are you seeing duplicates?  In your library of Photos on your Mac?  What part of iCloud have you activated: iCloud drive or the library to iCloud?

    If you don't see duplicated in the library of Photos these applications will identify and help remove the pictures in double a library of Photos:

    PowerPhotos is the version of iPhoto Library Manager for Photos and very powerful. Although more expensive that I recommend it because it has more capabilities than others like the ability to merge libraries of Photos or copy photos and their metadata between libraries.

  • How delete/mark Audio and Photos?

    Hello

    I just got my new MacBook Pro MF 839 model, I'm new to Mac. I see in the details of storage that my space is being neutralized by the Audio (1.67 GB) and Photos (909.7 MB). Please see screenshot for more details.

    I want to know that where these files are and how I delete these files, because I unchecked option iCloud and photos in iCloud defining (screenshot attached).

    I checked my local music and pictures folders, nothing is there, so confused em where these files are and how can I make this clear. I'm worried because I have 128 GB of total storage.

    Please guide me.

    All that files get users-> folder (aka your "home" directory).

    There are folders for music, photos and documents - surprisingly just like in Windows and all the other OS on the planet :-)

    Navigate to these folders and start watching. You will learn a lot. 2 GB of things is essentially nothing.

    I would like to by a good book on using Mac OS: these are quite fundamental skills for any computer.

  • Re photos in Icloud and Drobox question

    Hi, I want to put all of my photos from various sources, including thousands of Icloud and Dropbox (more of which are duplicated) in one place where I can organize, tag and remove the duplicates.  Lightbox is suitable for it?

    Lightroom (not jQuery) to do this.

    Photos can be stored in the cloud, they must be on a disk or local network.

  • Storage of original photos of full resolution in iCloud and IMac

    Hi all.

    I have what I think, it is a very simple question, but for the life of me cannot find a definitive answer.

    I have a librurary of photo on my iMac. (don't have not yet updated for sierra)

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    SO I think that the obvious thing to do is select "optimize storage" in the settings of cloud photo which clearly says that they will be in the cloud and the computer. But here's the question...

    If my IMac is low on space will start serving the original photos so that they are FAIR to Icloud?

    If so, what is the threshold of how much space it starts to do this?

    and if I recover my space again once on the iMac will be the original re download back to my iMac?

    Thanks in advance people.

    You may not use the setting 'Optimize storage' - select ' download originals for the Mac ", if you want than the originals, to be stored locally on the Mac and on iCloud.

    So that 'download originals to the Mac' is activated, all of the original will be kept on your Mac as well.

    It will not start original purge, as long as you keep "Optimize storage disabled".

    Optimization of the storage with the storage management is automatic.  Photos will download the originals if you need and remove, if more storage is needed. You cannot control this.

    I would like to support this thesis / store the originals in ICloud AND keep them on my mac.

    iCloud library is no backup. It is a synchronization service to keep all your libraries on different devices synchronized and updated. If you accidentally delete photo from your library, it is not possible to restore from iCloud. Deletion can be synchronized to all devices and iCloud, so the photo has disappeared everywhere.  You need a backup separate from your library on an external drive, even if you use iCloud photo library.

  • Is there a limit to how many photos I can keep in my iCloud and how long can I keep them stored there for?

    Is there a limit to how many photos I can download on my iCloud and is there a time limit on them once that I download them?

    It's a very difficult question to ask.  It's like someone who says fill this box with books - you can fill with 100 books or you can fill it with 10 books in bulk.  Of course, pictures/videos are limited to how much space you have.  I have over 7000 photos/videos and I am on the plan of 50 GB with about 20.8 left.  Time - zero limit.  Once it's in the cloud, and you continue to pay for your space, it will stay there indefinitely until you move elsewhere or delete.

  • Photo delete iCloud and re - download

    Hello, need help here...

    iCloud has been "playing" with my photo albums, some albums have disappeared as have some pictures.

    All started because I have iCloud enabled in all my devices. Somehow whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad for Photos of the computer continues to display the images that are on my devices, but not on my computer, I tried to manually import but they keep "showing" and which they occupy a considerable amount of storage on my iPad and iPhone, up to 12 GB.

    So, I decided to delete all THE pictures of my devices, previous backup and leave only the pictures on my computer. I then turned off the iCloud for all devices and the computer manually entered in the 'cloud' over the internet and discovered that in fact on the cloud, there are the missing missing image albums. Then...

    I need to delete images "iCloud" as the cloud and the re - upload the pictures that are on my macbook.

    How (or how should) do that?

    Thanks for any help that anyone can give

    Go to iCloud.com/Photos using a computer. Click to select the Photos, select the first, then with the SHIFT key, select the last one. Then click on the Recycle Bin.

  • How to remove Photos from the iPhone/iPad/iCloud and no pictures

    How to take a photo with my iPhone/iPad, allow it to synchronize with Photos on my Mac via iCoud, then delete from my iPhone/iPad/iCloud and removes any Photos on Mac? I want to save the photo on your computer and save space on small devices?

    I keep seeing articles on the iCloud market turn but it seems the photos all return on the devices once restarted. I want to iCloud on use as a conduit to get the photos to my computer, not as a large storage space. I want the Photos app on my Mac where all the photos are filled and stored and choose those which is left each device.

    Right now they are all in the pictures on the Mac, but I'm worried if I remove it from my iPhone/iPad that they will disappear from Photos on the Mac. I don't understand the new Photos app with all the missing features of iPhoto.

    Thank you!

    You can not that's not how works iCloud photo library - it is not a conduit but a total synchronization service whose entire raison d'etre is to keep libraries connected identical - all changes made on any device (addition, deletion or modification) are made on all devices. For devices with limited memory, using optimized photos

    If this isn't what you want then use another service - USB import, iTunes sync, MyPhotoStream for example each do different things and everyone can move photos from one device to another

    And Photos lack a lot of features iPhoto form - in fact much more features than iPhoto including iCloud library there like a bigger and better editing capability and better external editing capability and so on
